Hodge Podge Friday is a bit late today…. I had a meeting at my Downtown office this morning followed by an industry exam for some professional credentials I am trying to obtain. So before I knew it the day got away from me.
Thank you for all the support concerning my Thursday post, the friend I was speaking of has been progressively becoming more negative and I luckily don’t see her all that often; we talk because our husbands are good friends. My husband was shocked at her demeanor as well. Again thanks for the love and support!
So the hubby has been out of town most of this week for business and the kids have been relatively good, actually Lauren has been great Jackson well he puts me through my paces.
My mother came over on Wednesday to see me and the kids, in previous posts I have talked about the lack of help my mom provides even though she is right down the street and how she is really missing out on being a grandma. Well in true Gran form she came over with gifts then became a bit irritated when the kids would not go to bed or stay in bed, her comment as she was leaving maybe I shouldn’t come over at night since it seems to be such a circus. Well I guess she will never come over because it is always a circus!!!!
Dan and I will be attending that swanky black tie only wedding that I have blogged about; you know the wedding for that ungrateful bride from the bridal shower!!!! Since Dan is on the west coast so he is flying tonight to meet me in NJ in the morning. We have our old sitter coming to stay with the kids this weekend, so it will be nice to have Dan all to myself even if we have to go to some stuffy wedding.
Finally I received great news this afternoon, my daughter was accepted into the Spanish Immersion program. Meaning she will go through 1st through 6th grade learning Spanish. She will be a fluent speaker! Her school day will be half Spanish and half English. I believe that math, science and health will be in Spanish and the rest of the subjects in English. The stats on this program are great and I am so very happy that she has been accepted. Also her brother will be automatically accepted, as they like to keep families together.
I will have many stories and pictures from this weekend I am sure. Hope everyone has a great weekend and I will see you Monday!

Have a great time at the wedding...eat all of the free food you can!!!
Congrats to your daughter. That sounds like an awesome program.
Have fun at the wedding! Just use it as a date night, and totally tune out the stuffy people. ;-)
Congratulations to Lauren. That sounds like a very interesting program.
Very cool on the immersion program. My district has a Spanish program as well that starts almost 100% in Spanish and gradually moved to English from K to 5. It's incredibly hard to get into, given the small number of slots, and I'm debating whether to try next year.... Way cool for you though! I think I like the way your program is set up better.
And I'm off to go read and spread love on your previous post!
Congrats to Lauren!
Have fun at your stuffy wedding too (I would die for a night alone with the hub) :)
Oh I hope you have just the best of times! Especially since you have the weekend sans kids!
Relax and enjoy yourself, and have a several cocktails on the new bride and groom! :)
Love your Hodge Podge!
Gotta love mothers.
I think I am turning into mine.
I said I never would.
Glad you and Dan will be able to get away for the weekend.
Sounds fun even if the bride is a bit ungrateful.
She is giving you a reason to get away with hubby and eat and dance.
The Spanish Immersion program sounds fantastic.
I need to apply for myself.
I took French.
I have never needed it.
Grandmothers....well my hubs mother has never layed eyes on our kids...NEVER. She hates me! lol
Congrats to your Daughter!
Have fun at the wedding!
Sometimes family and friends can be disappointing and even hurtful - I'm sorry about this situation with your friend and your mother!
Congrats to your daughter!
Have a good weekend - Kellan
Hope you had a good time at the wedding. Can't wait to see pics. Congrats on your daughter and her acceptance into the Spanish Immersion program. I have a friend who has a son in a program like that. It is so cute to hear him speaking spanish (he is 7).
Hope you had fun!
Congrats to your daughter:)
I cannot imagine having a mother/grandmother quite like that. Does she not remember having small children??
Try to have fun at the wedding. Just drink a lot and have fun alone with your hubby!
I hope your weekend/wedding went ok. I'm so glad that you and Dan will have a chance to spend some alone time together even if you do have to go to that stuffy wedding. I'm looking forward to the post on that.
Ugh for your mom! She really is missing out. They often don't get it until it is way too late. Sad.
And the negative friend . . . eek. Hopefully you'll be able to keep your distance.
Can't wait to hear about the wedding.
And the immersion program!!! How awesome is that for Lauren! Very cool.
